حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ، أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَضَحِكَ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ تَمِيمًا الدَّارِيّ حَدَّثَنِي بِحَدِيثٍ فَفَرِحْتُ ، فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أُحَدِّثَكُمْ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَنَّ " نَاسًا مِنْ أَهْلِ فِلَسْطِينَ رَكِبُوا سَفِينَةً فِي الْبَحْرِ فَجَالَتْ بِهِمْ ، حَتَّى قَذَفَتْهُمْ فِي جَزِيرَةٍ مِنْ جَزَائِرِ الْبَحْرِ ، فَإِذَا هُمْ بِدَابَّةٍ لَبَّاسَةٍ نَاشِرَةٍ شَعْرَهَا ، فَقَالُوا : مَا أَنْتِ ؟ قَالَتْ : أَنَا الْجَسَّاسَةُ ، قَالُوا : فَأَخْبِرِينَا ، قَالَتْ : لَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ وَلَا أَسْتَخْبِرُكُمْ ، وَلَكِنْ ائْتُوا أَقْصَى الْقَرْيَةِ فَإِنَّ ثَمَّ مَنْ يُخْبِرُكُمْ وَيَسْتَخْبِرُكُمْ ، فَأَتَيْنَا أَقْصَى الْقَرْيَةِ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ مُوثَقٌ بِسِلْسِلَةٍ ، فَقَالَ : أَخْبِرُونِي عَنْ عَيْنِ زُغَرَ ، قُلْنَا : مَلْأَى تَدْفُقُ ، قَالَ : أَخْبِرُونِي عَنِ الْبُحَيْرَةِ ، قُلْنَا : مَلْأَى تَدْفُقُ ، قَالَ : أَخْبِرُونِي عَنْ نَخْلِ بَيْسَانَ الَّذِي بَيْنَ الْأُرْدُنِّ وَفِلَسْطِينَ هَلْ أَطْعَمَ ؟ قُلْنَا : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : أَخْبِرُونِي عَنِ النَّبِيِّ هَلْ بُعِثَ ؟ قُلْنَا : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : أَخْبِرُونِي كَيْفَ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهِ ؟ قُلْنَا : سِرَاعٌ ، قَالَ : فَنَزَّى نَزْوَةً حَتَّى كَادَ ، قُلْنَا : فَمَا أَنْتَ ؟ قَالَ : إِنَّهُ الدَّجَّالُ ، وَإِنَّهُ يَدْخُلُ الْأَمْصَارَ كُلَّهَا إِلَّا طَيْبَةَ ، وَطَيْبَةُ : الْمَدِينَةُ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ ، مِنْ حَدِيثِ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ .
´Fatimah bint Qais narrated that Allah's Prophet(s.a.w) ascended the Minbar, he laughed, and said:` "Verily, Tamim Ad-Dari narrated a story to me, and it made me happy, so I wanted to narrate it to you[what he narrated to me]. Some people among the inhabitants of Palestine traveled by boat in the sea, taking them here and there, until it cast them on an island among the islands at sea. There they found a beast, clothed with its hair flowing out. They said: 'What are you?' It said: 'I am Al-Jassasah.' They said: 'Give us some news.' It said: 'I shall not give you any news, nor do I want any of your news. But go to the furthest village, for there is someone who will give you news and seek your news.' So we went to the furthest village, and there was a man fettered with chains. He said: 'Inform me about the spring of Zughar.' We said: ' It is full and flowing.' He said: 'Inform me about Al-Buhairah.' We said,'It is full and flowing.' He said: 'Inform me about the date groves of Baysan which is between Jordan and Palestine, do they produce food?' We said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Inform me about the Prophet, has he been sent?' We said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Inform me how the people came to him.' We said: 'Quickly.' He leaped up to try and escape.' We said: 'What are you?' He said: 'I am the Dajjal.'" (The Prophet(s.a.w) said) "He will enter all of the lands except At-Taibah, and At-Taibah is Al-Madinah."

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: The noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum ajma'in) who performed Qiran Hajj with the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) performed the sa'i along with the Tawaf al-Qudum, and then did not perform the sa'i again after the Tawaf al-Ifadah. If they were unable to perform the Tawaf al-Qudum, then they performed the sa'i after the Tawaf al-Ifadah. However, those who were performing Tamattu' performed the sa'i again after the Tawaf al-Ifadah. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and other affluent Companions were Qarin, therefore, they performed only one sa'i. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) performed three tawafs: Tawaf al-Qudum, Tawaf al-Ifadah, and Tawaf al-Wada', but performed only one sa'i.

Benefits and Issues:


Our esteemed researcher has declared the rest of the narration, except for the underlined sentences, to be authentic, and has further written that the hadith of Sahih Muslim (2942) suffices for this.
Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah has also declared the rest of the narration, except for the underlined words, to be authentic. Therefore, the mentioned narration, except for the underlined words, is actionable and a valid proof.
And Allah knows best.


The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would sometimes explain necessary matters after Fajr, for example:
the interpretation of dreams, etc.
However, it was not his practice to deliver a sermon from the pulpit after Fajr.


The reason for the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam being pleased is that he too used to warn about the Dajjal.
The incident of Tamim al-Dari radi Allahu anhu further confirmed this.
In Sahih Muslim, these words are found:
“He told me something that agrees with what I used to tell you about the Masih al-Dajjal.” (Sahih Muslim, Al-Fitan, Chapter: The Story of al-Jassasah, Hadith: 2942)


Regarding al-Jassasah, these words are found in Sahih Muslim:
“Her body was so covered with hair that due to the abundance of hair, it was not possible to discern her front from her back.”


‘Amman and Baysan are two cities of al-Sham (Greater Syria). ‘Amman is the capital of present-day Jordan.


Zughar is a city in al-Sham.
There is a spring near it.
The Lake of Tiberias is in al-Sham.


The Dajjal will not be able to enter Madinah Munawwarah, but there will be three earthquakes in Madinah, and all the disbelievers and hypocrites present in Madinah will leave Madinah and join the Dajjal. (Sahih al-Bukhari, Al-Fitan, Chapter: Mention of the Dajjal, Hadith: 7124)


The Dajjal will also not enter Makkah Mukarramah. (Sahih Muslim, Al-Fitan, Chapter: The Story of al-Jassasah, Hadith: 2942)
